making homemade whipped cream

My favorite whipped cream is homemade.
Although there is usually an emergency can of Redi Whip
in the fridge,
if I know I'll be wanting whipped cream
for something, I make sure I pick up
a little carton of heavy cream
{with no additives, preferred}
from the store.
I was excited to try out my new
recently
and see how it would work.
After pouring a half pint
of heavy cream into the glass container...


...I added a tablespoon of vanilla sugar.
{Just add a split vanilla bean or two to
a jar of sugar, cover, and give some time
to flavor.} 


With the plunger inserted and the top secured,
I pumped the handle up and down
and had perfect whipped cream in no time.

My favorite new kitchen tool!
